Hezbollah: US Bombing Iraqi Army, Popular Forces’ Positions Not ISIL

“The intentional bombing of armed forces and popular forces shows wicked intentions of the US and the international cover-up of this attempt on the pretext of fighting ISIL,” an informed source from Iraq’s Hezbollah Battalions told the Arabic-language Al-Moslah news website.

“Had the United States been honest in its claims, it would have targeted the ISIL positions in Jorf Al-Sakhar, Faloujah, and other regions identified by us instead of striking the Army and popular forces in Al-Awisat in Northern Babil last Wednesday,” the source said.

He further said the US had used smart bombs and missiles in targeting the Iraqi army and popular forces twice in the last one month, and stressed that this could not have happened by mistake as the munitions used in the operations were smart and equipped with hi-tech.

Hezbollah called for the vigilance of the Iraqi people against the US double-standard policies in Iraq.
